It felt like I was holding a hot potato in my hand, but I couldn't ignore her.
"It's not in vain that I could have earned your gratitude.
However, now that things have come to this, you shouldn't have to go to the underworld anymore, right?"
"What do you mean?"
Moran was confused by Ishtar's words.
The uneasy feeling grew stronger.
"What does it mean? What else could it mean?
"Moran, you saw through my identity from the beginning, yet you still chose to maintain a relationship with me. Doesn't this simply mean you're obsessed with the goddess Ishtar? Looking back, we've done a lot of ridiculous things. Stealing other gods' treasures, adventuring into all sorts of secret places..."
Ishtar said joyfully.
This made Moran fall into silence for a moment.
You discovered Ishtar's identity the first time, and you didn't intend to expose her relationship. You were plotting against Ishtar.
[No, is that really the case?]
[You really don't have any thoughts about Ishtar at all? ]
【Thinking of this, you suddenly feel a little dangerous】
[However, you don't think you are completely bewitched by Ishtar. This woman is a bit too confident.]
You admit that part of you likes her.
"However, this wasn't the only reason for maintaining that relationship. I also wanted to take care of Uruk..."
"Ishtar, I am indeed fascinated by you."
Moran broke the silence and spoke.
He didn't want to find any more reasons to complicate the problem.
[In just a few seconds, you still made a choice]
If you want to love, love with all your heart.
This is what you have always believed in.
[Whether it's Uruk, the people, or avoiding natural disasters, these are just excuses.]
If you really don't like Ishtar
[You still have many ways to prevent the natural disasters caused by Ishtar. There is no need to choose to fall in love with her.]
"In the final analysis, no matter how much you try to avoid it, you can't hide the fact that a part of your heart loves Ishtar."
When I realized this problem
You already have no thoughts of avoiding it.
【Be transparent and don’t avoid】
This is the choice you, the Beast King, made.
"Haha, I told you. You really do like me.
You didn't avoid it, but said it directly. Haha, that makes me happy. Moran, I like you too."
Ishtar was overjoyed.
Responding to the passion in my heart, I made a confession.
Mutual love is what she hopes for.
If her charming expression is coupled with playing with the birds, she would be more than just a young lady, she could even be a princess.

"So, there's no need to maintain a relationship with that Ereshkigal guy, right? That guy might be me, but he's not me.
She is the darkest, most unhappy version of me.
Now that you've realized the charm of Ishtar, there's no need for you to look at women like Ereshkigal anymore, right?"
Ishtar said as she approached Moran.
A bright smile spread across her cheeks.
She twisted her snake-like waist slightly, full of charm.
That graceful figure can capture countless men.
"Since I'm here, don't argue with that guy..."
"I will not abandon Ereshkigal."
Moran decisively refused.
He would not abandon Ereshkigal, to whom he had made promises in the past, just because he fell in love with Ishtar.
In his eyes, both Ishtar and Ereshkigal were equally important.
"........."
Ishtar's hand, which was reaching out to Moran, stopped.
His expression was also frozen.
"What's so good about that guy in the underworld? Do you think I'm any worse than her? The underworld is a barren land. Helping her is just a waste of time. What can this dark woman bring you?"
Ishtar said, gritting her teeth.
The resentment that had once been felt was back, stronger than ever.
Her heart was more bitter and painful than ever before.
"It's not my principle to abandon Ereshkigal just because I fell in love with you, Ishtar. Building the underworld is certainly not easy, but I don't think everything I've experienced with Ereshkigal is troublesome."
Moran has reasons not to back down.
This is a matter of principle for him.
[Yes, you do not deny your own fraternity]
This is your nature
It is this universal love that has brought you to where you are today, allowing you to overcome many hardships and impossibilities.
If he is asked to go against his own heart
[That is equivalent to overturning everything you abide by]
This is almost like asking you to die.
You can't abandon your wives. You'd rather abandon yourself than abandon them.
"Huh...Huh...Everything has its explanation. Ereshkigal is a woman who can only stay in the underworld. She can't give you anything! But I can give you the sky and the earth! Even so, you still choose Ereshkigal!?"
Ishtar's chest heaved with anger.
Her cheeks also turned red.
Ishtar’s meaning is quite clear, that is - either I or she, or she or I.
This is a major problem that has been difficult for all men to solve since ancient times.
Now it finally comes to Moran.
Moreover, it was the goddess who asked him to make this choice.
"If I had been so focused on these things, I wouldn't have fallen in love with Ereshkigal in the first place. She is the only beautiful flower in the underworld, the Ereshkigal who can persevere even in such a desolate land. She is the woman I, Moran, deeply love. No one can change that."
Moran said with great determination.
Facing Ishtar, he did not waver at all.
You know how much Ishtar hates Ereshkigal. It's almost a life-and-death feud.
Even if she forgives your past rudeness
[I will never forgive the shame I once left in the underworld]
The fact that you still love Ereshkigal is the worst thing you can do to Ishtar.
Ereshkigal and Ishtar
The two are incompatible.
Perhaps Ereshkigal will tolerate Ishtar because of you. But Ishtar, being so willful, will never tolerate Ereshkigal because of you.
“Gu… You, you…”
Ishtar practically gritted her teeth.
I have a love-hate relationship with Moran.
In addition to being angry, I would think of that love again.
[You are the only man in all these millions of years who makes her feel different, different from any other man. You are the one who makes her want to be with you even if she has to restrain her nature.]
[But, only Ereshkigal]
【Only this hateful woman】
[The woman who had once pierced her naked body with countless spears and humiliated her countless times—]
[She is the only one Ishtar cannot accept]
"So, Moran...you prefer Ereshkigal to me, Ishtar?"
Ishtar almost squeezed out these words from her throat...
This shows the grief and resentment.
"Ishtar, I love you.
But if you think I'm going to abandon Ereshkigal for you, I can't do that no matter what... I'm sorry..."
Moran said sincerely.
He said something like this more than once.
No matter which wife he treats, he is sincere and devoted to her. In terms of dedication, he treats them equally and will never abandon one for the other.
In his eyes, the love between himself and his wife.
It must never be measured by mere value.
"Hehehe..."
Ishtar laughed.
He smiled as if he had plucked flowers from the sky, and this smile cast an indescribable murderous aura towards Moran.
The distance between the two people was only two meters.
Just stretch out your hand and you can catch the other person.
For these two people, this distance is no different from close combat, and it is easy to kill each other.
"...If Ereshkigal asked me to abandon you for her, I couldn't do it. I won't abandon either of you." Moran said.
"You're still so weird. You keep insisting you love me, yet you refuse to give up on Ereshkigal even at this point. In my opinion, you're a liar! You're a jerk!"
Ishtar stared at Moran.
Even though she showed murderous intent, she still didn't make a move.
Compared to her former capriciousness, Ishtar had changed significantly. Although her essence remained unchanged, she had at least learned to exercise restraint.
"Hmm! You call me a liar... You're no better, aren't you?! You were the one who first seized the vessel I gave to Ereshkigal, weren't you? You were the one who tried to deceive people by using Ereshkigal's identity, weren't you? You were the one who tried to steal the jewels and treasures of other gods every time you went out, weren't you?!"
Moran choked at first.
Then he and Ishtar started arguing.
